Schengen is solely about movement of tourists; it has nothing to do with work authorization. Germany, Switzerland and other places share the development that 40yrs ago a top career in a top company with was possible with an apprenticeship a

Which "regulations mandating Swiss level salaries for foreign workers" are you talking about?

I heard, doctors make 2-3x than in Switzerland. Someone has to pay for that I guess.

So if you have a disease/accident that costs $100k to treat, how much is the deductible? If it's like $5k, it's okay.

It's not like this in the US? In Switzerland there is a deductible for adults but everything connected to pregnancy and child-birth is deductible-free. Also, kids below 18 yrs old have mandatory insurance that is has no deductible, thu

No, you CAN NOT buy citizenship in Switzerland, not even in Zug. You can however get a permit to stay that is renewed every year, if you're wealthy (defined as: sustain life here without the need of work). The threshold is way lower th

> "You only need to be resident on paper, never physically set a foot there." Not true for Switzerland: You have to be 6 months per year here to officially / taxwise "live here". Otherwise, you lose your permit.

We don't have a minimum wage, the Swiss voted against it in 2014 (1), but yes, most people are paid more than CHF/$20. (1) https://www.bbc.com/news/business-27459178

Good for you. I was recommending NL exactly because of the 30% tax exemption for 8 (!) years for foreigners who move to NL to work in tech and other "in demand" fields, which results in a very nice after-tax salaray. Without that,

I still don't get why Germany is underpaying engineers. After taxes, a cleaning lady in Switzerland can earn more than an engineer in Germany. Net salaries in Zürich are the only ones in Europe that match Bay Area level. (Living costs

That is true. In Zurich a mid level engineer with 3 years of experience can earn 6600 EUR after taxes. See my blogpost that I wrote after moving here "Nine reasons why I moved to Switzerland to work in IT" ( https://bit.

I hear you. I removed the wording "statistically speaking" from the initial comment.
